About

Project Spiral is the name of the project to create an intellectual property management site, for the proliferation of things like: music, software, art, photos and schematics. The idea is to have an extremely low cost per download, with the option to pay the creators more than that, at the payer's choosing. It's almost a "pay what you want" system, but with a few added benefits.

Here are the goals of the project. Each major goal has its justification below.
  1. Provide compensation to creators and innovators of intellectual property
    • New and useful ideas and art have tremendous value. Monetary compensation should provide the necessary incentive to keep the culture active and thriving.
  2. Lower the barrier to access the best intellectual property
    • Consumers of new and useful ideas need a low barrier, in order to become creators and innovators themselves. It is only through exposure and use of ideas that innovations occur.
    • By keeping the barrier as low as possible, the number of consumers should remain as high as possible.
  3. Provide incentives for the early adoption of interesting intellectual property
    • The first users and consumers of an emerging idea have a huge impact on the future of the idea. Technology companies live and die by the whim of their early adopters.
    • Early adopters take risks by using new ideas. By proving the value of the idea, they provide the necessary conditions for the idea to spread.
    • By taking a risk and providing this service, early adopters deserve rewards.
